Columbus City Schools’ latest site plan for Stewart Alternative Elementary School calls for saving the historic Columbus Maennerchor building and leaving Pearl Street open to through traffic. The district now wants to cluster all new additions on the existing property.

Meeting on this tonight, Wed, May 9 if anyone wants to go: The German Village Commission and the Brewery District Commission plan one of several joint, public meetings to talk about the Stewart Avenue School project. Details on tonight’s Wednesday, May 9, meeting are here.

The meeting is at 109 North Front Street downtown and begins at 6 p.m.

Students, staff and administrators have reclaimed Stewart Alternative Elementary School since arson closed its doors in July 2010. The expanded and updated elementary school reopened Jan. 5, the first day after winter break.

The school looks great – inside and out. Went to the ribbon cutting yesterday, and it was so nice to see the state-of-the-art classrooms, current students and to tour the building with people who went there 60 years ago. I’m impressed.
